Rocio Patino

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a masters degree in social work from California State University San Bernardino. I have experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, families and supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, emotional difficulties and relationship challenges. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is to help you feel heard understood and supported while developing practical tools that you can use in your everyday life. I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship and meeting each client where they are.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative and solution-focused. I believe you are the expert on your own life and my role is to help you better understand your experiences, identify patterns and develop tools that support meaningful change. I incorporate evidence based approaches and tailor treatment to each client individual needs and goals. Sessions may include exploring thoughts and emotions, building coping skills, challenging unhelpful patterns and identifying practical steps toward the changes you want to make. I hope therapy can feel like a partnership together.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll discuss your current concerns your experiences and what you hope to gain from therapy. You can expect a welcoming judgment, free environment, where you can share at your own pace. We work together to identify your goals and begin developing a plan that feels realistic and meaningful to you. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy, we can work through it together.
